Bad cop mode on/ :) WP plugin shouldn't be used to back WP up. It's best done on the server level (if one has access). I'd argue that to be faster, less resource-demanding (in a shared hosting environment this matters, be a good customer :) ), an…

Most of my (and client) sites are working fine with MyW.pt at the moment (my MyW experience). Thanks @MikePT (Image) At the same time, I started testing MDDHosting Elastic Reseller (my initial impressions - so far so good). As this situation show…
-
(Quote) Reliability of the provider is what I meant, not the panel. (Quote) I've been very sceptical (and critical). Now, it has both cons and pros - I wouldn't say that it's inferior in every possible aspect. The way backups and restorations are d…
-
Feedback: Just tried DA to DA migration to MyW.pt. Worked like a charm for our huge-database motorcycling forum. Edit: I used to do this via SSH, since PhpMyAdmin DB import would fail, no matter how I set the max PHP upload file size limit. This is …

(Quote) Yes. Most reseller hosting providers limit resources per a created sub-account, not per a whole reseller account. Probably for a reason. It's definitely better for re-selling. The per-whole-reseller limits are better for allowing more flex…
-
(Quote) But it solves this problem to a great degree: "'I've just always been afraid of people using reseller plans for profit purposes and not caring what or who they put on them"
-
(Quote) Consider making resource limits on a per-whole-account basis. As explained here: https://io.bikegremlin.com/23094/hostmantis-enterprise-reseller-hosting-review/#3 I'm running over a dozen websites on these resources with no problems whatsoe…

(Quote) Would you care to explain why - probably best in a separate topic? In other words - what are the main cons of using one?
-
Backups are always at hand, always ready to move, regardless of the provider. Just got back from the gym and read the news (a 10 days notice - classic! :) ) - updated my reviews with the info, doing my research on the new owner (doesn't look too pro…

“ WordPress.org Strongly Urges Theme Authors to Switch to Locally Hosted Webfonts…” Crazier every day: https://wptavern.com/wordpress-org-strongly-urges-theme-authors-to-switch-to-locally-hosted-webfonts
-
(Quote) Makes sense - thanks for the explanation. Yup - WP SEO plugins help avoid silly mistakes when writing, I find them to be quite useful. P.S. I meant HTML tags when I said: "tags" (like meta description tag etc.). Edit: I have exp…
-
(Quote) What exactly do you see as an SEO-related advantage of WordPress? Does WHMCS allow for mobile-friendly design, internal linking, tags, image alt descriptions etc?

(Quote) My bad. I meant the top-right corner, when you enter through the door to the apartment. In the living room. A potential problem could be the sun from the window(s) - causing screen glare. Then you'd get more room for wardrobes in the bedroo…

Take all of this with a bucket of salt - it's just my opinion, based on my experience (and preferences/priorities). If it helps, playing with this software helped me be sure that breaking a wall is a good idea: https://www.sweethome3d.com/ I'm sur…
-
On topic I hope it will reduce the pressure on the electricity price hikes. That's as much as I expect to happen (and can allow myself to hope for). Slightly less on topic I love this website: Web3 is going just great And, a less sarcastic one, on…
-
(Quote) Just googled it - yup, a great idea! :) (Image) On a more serious note - it's one of the things I just can't get around to buy, even though dishes are most often my job. Got a relatively small & narrow pass kitchen, so the place I ha…

(Quote) You could route the cable along the walls near the ceiling, then bring it down to each desk. Different ways and types: (Image)
-
(Quote) If you aren't allowed to use cable wall housing (not sure of the proper English name for that), then yes, definitely. If you can - IMO it's worth the hassle to install them (they come with self-adhesive, along with the old-style ones that ar…
-
Be a man - use cables! :) I've had good results with TP-Link USB Wi-Fi adapters, they are OK.
-
(Quote) I thought it was more of a neutral post - sharing the news. This is a big move. Out-of-the-box solutions are beating WordPress, and these big players are trying hard to stay in the game. But I had forgotten to add my standard Marx-told-you-…
-
(Quote) It's free proper beta testing now. Don't see why they would ditch that.
-
(Quote) English isn't my native. "Not reversible" is what I mean - if that's the right way to put it. My long-winded drivel on the hash function. :)
-
(Quote) Not necesserily, as far as I know. Hash is a one-way process (asymmetric). You shouldn't be able to determine the password from the given hash. You needn't decrypt them on the server, there's nothing to decrypt. During log-in, the entered …
-
(Quote) We're talking about Google authenticator and/or Authy and the likes (so not SMS or email)? Regarding the passwords, if implemented properly, they too work using asymmetric encryption - only (salted) password hash should be stored. (Quote) …
-
(Quote) How does this differ from (properly implemented) passwords? Sure - there's only a 30 to 60-second window for decrypting the WebAuth code, but that's a 4 to 8 digit code, compared to a password that can (and should?) be 30+ characters long. …
-
My workaround for the device lost/damaged/stolen is using Authy. WebAuth used as an additional security layer along with a strong password is safer than only using a strong password. But I doubt that WebAuth by itself is much more secure than just …
-
I use Softaculous when possible (the link's to my how-to on that). When not, I use All-in-One WP Migration (again, my tutorial). If all else fails - I do it "manually."
-
(Quote) They seem to think blocking VPN IPs is a good idea. It makes sense for purchases, but for the KB - I don't see why.
-
What @MikeA said. Shared hosting saves you time/hassle - you just put what you want on it and it runs. Along with all the bells and whistles, whether you need them or not (CloudLinux, LiteSpeed and the likes). I also suppose that shared hosting ac…

In the meantime, small website owners technically have to pay for GDPR lawyers and implement GDPR cookie consent, contact persons etc. Allegedly, to protect the privacy of people who carry microfone+camera surveillance devices with them all day lon…

(Quote) Today, I'd say that Squarespace beats it for websites, while Shopify beats it for webshops, at least when it comes to non-tech people. Not a bad article on this topic: WordPress’ market share is shrinking
-
(Quote) Thanks for the feedback. I've been off cPanel completely for a few months now (went full retard DirectAdmin :) ). About the website comment problem (and the article update) - shoot me a PM (or make an off-topic section thread, to not bot…
-
(Quote) True - every year I look back on myself and realise how stupid I was. :) (Image) Regarding my expertise - it's realistic to say I'm an experienced user, but not a (real) developer. I aim to keep it that way. :)
-
(Quote) No rush. As far as I figure, you are not likely to benefit from reading it. The only potential benefit could come for any novice readers (including myself :) ) if you provide some additions or corrections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…
-
(Quote) Thanks. :) I've added a note about backups and image optimization. WordPress 6.0 is still in beta (to be released at the end of this month)?
-
(Quote) Every solution has its pros and cons. Correct me if I'm wrong: WP2static with Cloudflare workers is a bit of a steeper learning curve for beginners, especially if they wish to have website comments, or run a WooCommerce webshop. The articl…
-
(Quote) All very good points. Thank you. :) With that in mind: 1) I've edited the article by adding a more "explicit" link to my article explaining what a vCPU is. The article was already linked to from a table, but that's more easily m…
